Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Although Mrs. Anpinghou is the sister of the Queen Mother, Anpinghou is a loyal protector of the emperor. In his eyes, imperial power is greater than anything else. However, although he helped Situ Lin ascend the throne in recent years, Situ Lin took the throne around him after he ascended the throne. Meritorious ministers were rewarded, but none of them had real power. For example, the Marquis of Anping was just a false position.

But he was also a general who led the army before, so there were still many of his disciples in the court. After the Queen Mother learned that Situ Lin had dealt with Zhao Zijun, she only fined Situ Jin half a year's salary, and then transferred him out of the capital to patrol the south of the Yangtze River for the emperor. He asked people to leave the palace immediately and invite Anpinghou to Yongshou Palace.

The Queen Mother was surprised when she saw Yongpinghou, but she hadn't seen him for several days. Yongpinghou looked much older, and even his temples had a few strands of white hair.

The Queen Mother took the initiative to ask about Zhao Zijun's situation: "How is Zijun's situation?"

Zhao Zhang sighed: "Now people are awake, but after waking up, they saw the scars on their faces and lost their temper at home all day long. The Queen Mother knew Zijun's temper and invited many doctors to see her, but no one dared to prescribe medicine. "

The Queen Mother consoled her: "The Ai family has asked the imperial physician in the palace to develop a scar-removing ointment. All the precious medicinal materials are used. Don't worry too much. There will always be a way."

Zhao Zhang hurriedly stood up and thanked her: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for thinking about my little girl."

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said intentionally or unintentionally: "The Ai family intends to seek justice for Zijun in this matter, but the emperor is not the biological son of the Ai family. There are many things that the Ai family can't say even if they want to help. Zijun has always They all grew up around the Ai family."

"The Ai family treats her like their own daughter and cannot bear to see her suffer any injustice. Now that something like this happened to Zijun, the Ai family is as heartbroken as you are."

"Prince Jin is the emperor's biological son after all. Princess Jin is pregnant now, and the emperor will not touch her. Zijun can only swallow this."

Zhao Zhang was not sure what the Queen Mother meant when she suddenly said these words, so he could only apologize carefully and said with a smile: "It's strange that Zijun is ignorant and bumped into Princess Jin. What is her status? How can a princess be as noble as the princess?" ?”

"But then again, the emperor is indeed too protective. The Ai family proposed that Prince Jin marry Zijun, but the emperor actually stood up and opposed it. After all, Anpinghou, you also had the merit of serving the dragon back then. Now that you are older, She didn't give any face at all." As the Queen Mother said this, she did not forget to pay attention to Zhao Zhang's expression all the time. Seeing his expression change slightly, she added:

"I think back then, you and Xiao Dongcheng accompanied the emperor from being a prince to the high position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. You two played a great role in it. However, as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, Xiao Dongcheng lost the imperial guards. The position of leader is to guard the frontier, but you have changed from a general to an Anping Marquis with no real power."

The more Zhao Zhang listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He said with a hint of suspense, "The Empress Dowager is serious. The emperor's ability to inherit the throne was all due to his own excellence and the late emperor's discerning eye. I am just lucky to have chosen a wise master. The emperor has the common people in mind. It's just that I have chosen a more suitable person to sit in the right position, and I will have no complaints."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "When did Marquis Anping learn to follow others' opinions in front of the Ai family?"

Zhao Zhang's voice trembled slightly: "The Queen Mother...where do you start talking about this?"

A cold smile appeared on the lips of the Queen Mother: "Is Anpinghou willing to swallow this grievance? Look what the emperor has done in these years? He kicked out those of you who loyally supported him from the court and reused the family. The big family, what’s the result? Now I feel that the big family has too much power.”

"Transfer King Jin back to the capital to help deal with the aristocratic families. Even the queen's mother's family, the Wei family, has been framed by King Jin. Even the status of the prince is threatened. If this continues, the emperor is afraid that he will depose the queen and the prince. The Aijia will never allow such a thing to happen."

Only then did Zhao Zhang realize that the Queen Mother was trying to win over him and fight against the King of Jin. He panicked and shook his head hurriedly: "The Queen Mother must be careful, this matter is related to the fate of the country. The Emperor does not seem to have such intention. If anyone hears it, , this is a serious crime to punish the nine clans."

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Anping. The Yongshou Palace is filled with old people who have been employed by the Ai family for decades. They are very strict with their words. It's better for the Ai family to speak clearly. If the emperor is interested in deposing the prince, , Prince Su will never allow it.”

"I think Anpinghou also knew that the late emperor's favorite candidate for emperor was Prince Su. If Prince Su's appearance had not been disfigured, there would be no way for the emperor to get the throne, and the Ai family would not have to be the empress dowager in name only."

"There is always a difference whether he is his biological son or not. You also know that Prince Su has always liked the prince. He will never be destined for the throne in this life, but the prince must be the next emperor of Xia Zhaoguo. No matter what the reason, Ai Jia and Su No prince will agree to the emperor appointing someone else as crown prince."

"Especially King Jin. The emperor also punished him with small punishments and severe admonitions. He was basically favoring him and Su Ying. Now King Jin is relying on the emperor's favor to suppress the power of the prince. It is not a good thing for the country that the prince is weak. Anpinghou Do we have to turn a blind eye too?"

The cold sweat on Zhao Zhang's face fell layer by layer at this moment. He carefully considered his words and said with cupped hands: "Then how does the Queen Mother hope that I can help the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip carefully, and said: "The Ai family heard that the current leader of the Imperial Guard was promoted by Anping Marquis in the past. The Ai family hopes that if there is any change in the capital in the future, Anping Marquis can Look at the situation clearly and know which side you should be on.”

"This matter is related to the future status of Anpinghou's family. I believe Anpinghou can give the Ai family a better answer. After all, you are also the Ai family's direct brother-in-law. The Ai family will never do it for the sake of their own sister. It’s a shame for the Zhao family.”

"Marquis Anping is a man who understands current affairs, and he will definitely not disappoint the Ai family, right?"

Zhao Zhang's heart was racing, and the hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly. The Queen Mother's meaning was very clear. If the emperor no longer reuses the prince, the situation in the capital will probably change. The Queen Mother and Prince Su's return to the capital will not be innocent. Coming to the palace as a guest is forcing him to take sides.

Marquis Anping's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said: "The Emperor has an order that the Imperial Guards are not allowed to have any private contact with officials in the court. The old ministers dare not disobey the Emperor's order."

After all, the life and death of the family was entrusted to others. How could Anpinghou be persuaded by a few words from the Queen Mother when he had been ups and downs in the court for decades.

The Queen Mother naturally knew that this was an old fox. She looked at the gradually warming sunshine on the window sill and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "All we need is Anpinghou to pull the strings and ask Li Hongcai, the leader of the Imperial Guard, to come to the Yongshou Palace of the Ai Family to sit down. The Aijia will handle other matters on their own, so there is no need for Anping Hou to bother himself."

Anping Hou thought for a long time, and forced a smile on his face: "I will definitely take this matter to heart. The Queen Mother trusts me so much, and I will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's expectations."

The two chatted for a while, until Anpinghou left the Yongshou Palace, and the Queen Mother said coldly: "This old fox!"
